On the evening of September 16, 2020, Elmer Geovany Lopez Toi, 20, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Wyoming, Michigan. He and 16-year-old Santos Padilla Banegas were walking near South Division Avenue and Wilbur Street SE when gunfire erupted from a passing vehicle; Lopez Toi was pronounced dead at the scene and Padilla Banegas later died at a hospital.

Investigators identified the suspect vehicle as a dark-colored 2010 or 2011 GMC Acadia and believe multiple people were inside. Authorities say shots were fired from a rear passenger-side window and the vehicle was last seen heading south on Jefferson Avenue from Wilbur Street. Police released a pre-shooting video of Lopez Toi helping two homeless men and stated there was no evidence either victim was involved in criminal activity.

A $5,000 reward was offered and the Wyoming Department of Public Safety describes the case as active, but no arrests or publicly announced identifications had been made. If anyone who knew Elmer Geovany Lopez Toi or saw the vehicle that night has information, please come forward.
